I can't seem to figure out how to post an image so my avitar will have to do if it shows up. This is my 15th century warrior character. The photo was from the 2007 Stone Mountain HG's

I've been intrigued by these garments for a while, and when invited along to the AZ Renaissance Fair I decided to try and "recreate" my 7th-great-grandfather as I imagine him.
So...got a terrific deal on four yards of brownish non-clan plaid, thick wool blend for $5 a yard.

My Bonnie Sweetheart helped pleat it.

I then performed the dignified ritual known as "Scottish Burrito"

Fortunately, I already made a Rob Roy style sporran, and I purchased an early styled dirk, and the knotwork on those matches.

Here's a view showing the pleats

Back view showing the stripe

I always wanted to look like a McIan print

Now I can !

Or here's how the belted plaid looks with more modern, semi-formal attire

My wife thinks I'm wearing this because boys always want to be super heroes and if you arrange the back up on one side it looks like a cape.

Anyway, for a minimum of expense and effort this is a neat garment.

I'm getting a little better (and faster) at belting on my plaid
I took these to show off the new targe I made (I guess I could post more pictures of it in the DIY forum)

Z,
Its too bad Kevin Kinney didn't go into production of these because they are very comfortable. 
There are a couple of things I need to fix with this outfit. I would like a different shirt and I am hoping Star will make me one. I'm going to send Brian (woodsheal) a photo of the one she just did for Sinbad and get his thoughts. Also I need to do something different with my hose.
The knit hose are really not period at all. I see that some use a simple tied gaiter and others the clahdah (sp) ..the tartan material hose. Of course bare legged/bare foot would be most appropriate but I don't think my shoes would fit without some sort of sock.
I'm also going to change the sword and am saving my pennies for a basket hilt.
I wore this to a Tartan Day celebration with many historical re-enactment groups a couple of weeks ago. The day was cold, windy, and heavily misting in the morning It was very comfortable and practical to draw the ends of the plaid about me like a cloak. (however I do need to master the art of not stabbing myself with my bodkin when re-arranging my plaid! )
Cheers
